Artie Lyrics

Walking over the same old grass
Trying to stay on the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize

Artie, take a look at me
may not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Hey there man
I didn't trash your can
But I'll apologize for all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I don't wanna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town

Artie, take a look at me
Might not wanna think about all the little things
That piss you off about me

Walking over the same ole grass
Trying to stay off the beaten path
I don't need to apologize
For the things I don't recognize
Walking over the same ole ground
Thinking bout all the things we found
I ain't gonna let it bring me down
I'm up and out of this dirty town

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
